Multiphase Low-Thrust Trajectory Optimization Using Evolutionary Neurocontrol

Optimization of Low-Thrust Earth-Moon Transfers Using Evolutionary Neurocontrol

Although low-thrust propulsion is an interesting option for scientific and reconnaissance missions to targets in planetary space, like the Moon, associated transfer strategies pose challenging requirements in terms of optimal control. The method of Evolutionary Neurocontrol (ENC), which has been applied very successfully to interplanetary low...
